all of DCD's stuff is in the process of being reissued, these two are from the first wave of releases that came out a couple of months ago. i think i paid $16 each direct from 4AD, while prices on the originals are through the roof, same for the 2008-2009 180 remasters. i have the latter version of within the realm of a dying sun, which i snagged at retail like 4 years ago, and it now sells for $50+.

according to 4AD's website these are reissues of the originals. the two that i have sound wonderful but suffer from the same packaging issues the 2008-2009 releases did -- both inner and outer sleeves come with seam splits/tears from the factory, and there was a fair bit of loose cardboard debris in the inner sleeve. definitely looks like they used the same print shop for the packaging this time around and their processes have not improved at all in the last 8 years. fortunately my discs arrived unscathed, so it could've been worse.
